Oxford open access experiments

Oxford University Press is doing some interesting things with their Open Access experimentation.- The article charge fee for publishing in an open access mode in Journal of Experimental Botany is now waived for authors who are at institutions that subscribe to the journal -- such as Washington University. All primary papers published after April 1, 2007 whose corresponding author’s institution subscribes to the Journal of Experimental Botany will be published Open Access.

The 2008 online-only prices of Oxford Open journals have been adjusted to reflect any increase in the amount of open access versus non-open access content published in each journal in 2006 compared to the amount in 2005. Generally, the more open access content published in a journal, the lower the future online-only price. However, the picture is sometimes complicated by other factors such as changes in page extent, issue frequency, and exchange rate adjustments. The range of discounts is from 1% to 19%.
